Six Flags Great America Trip 8 Introduction 7-13-11 Last Q101 Metallica Partial Power Sick Puppies

Ah, a melancholy morning in a sense. I always hear Metallica somewhere on the radio to or from the park. Today was my last time having the opportunitty to do so with Q101 Chicago's Alternative, set to go off air at midnight Thursday/Friday. Also, the park was running at partial capacity, as Monday's storm caused major power outages. Lastly, I had been waiting for a couple months to see Sick Puppies live in concert!! Let's see how the day plays out!! R.I.P. Q101 Chicago's Alternative!! They got me into Sick Puppies!!

Mornings suck so bad without Shermberg and Tingz... The last night of q101 was so sad....

[JiggidyNDG]

@g1stealth I really miss the DJs and the music!! Yeah, it was a sad day/night for radio. I'm loading videos documenting my experience of the last moments. Check them out!

I was really trying to hide my "upsetness" about Q101 going off the FM dial...I found it more than fitting to make tis my last tribute to them. After I get the Sick Puppies videos up from the concert, I will be loading vids I took while Q101 was fading to black...
